Mrs. Olga Kachina (CRA member) presented a lecture about the events which took place in 1922 and marked the end of the Civil War in the Far East of Russia. Her presentation focused on the members of the Russian community who were affected by those events leading to their evacuation to the Philippines and the United States in 1923. Upon their arrival in California, they contributed in various ways. Many enrolled to the National Sea Guard, with some becoming Captains in the US Navy. Some became aerospace engineers, taking part in Apollo space program. Others became scholars including one who was the founding member of the Department of the Slavic Studies at UCLA. 
A blessing of the memorial plaque with the names of parishioners of the Holy Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Cathedral who served in the US Military took place in Los Angeles. The plaque was presented by Los Angeles CRA chapter as a tribute to these Veterans during the Slavic Festival on November 13, 2022. CRA maintains the “Golden list”of the community members who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
